Texas Tech's signing class of 2013 has had a few breakout players, but also has seen some downsides from a few.

Here is a look back at the 2013 Red Raider recruiting class.

Number of signees: 29

The Red Raiders' clas was ranked 46th nationally and seventh in the Big 12. The highlight of the class was four-star JUCO transfer defensive end Andre Ross, who was the No. 1 player at the position in the state among junior college players..

Players still on team: 7

This number shows the story of college football careers. Some from this class have graduated already, while the others didn't last. The ones who did, though, are now some key players for the Red Raiders.

Nunez is the surprise of this class as he played his way to a scholarship from not being recruited out of high school. Now he is one of the key veteran players on the Texas Tech defense, but he has struggled with injuries. This year, he has the potential to continue his growth at Texas Tech.

Disappointment of the class: Andre Ross, defensive end

Ross was Texas Tech's top signing in 2013, but he totaled 19 tackles in his two years at Texas Tech and mainly served as the backup. He recorded one sack with the Red Raiders.

Poised breakout player: D.J. Polite-Bray, safety

Polite-Bray was signed on as a wide receiver but is now a defensive back. He has made the adjustment and will now have a solid chance to display his defensive ability. His spring performance stood out among most others as he displayed physical play. He seems to be heading in the right way and will get his chance in his senior year.
